ChampionChip® Electronic Timing System

All Rockies Home Run for the Homeless participants will wear a small computer chip attached to the top of one shoe to be accurately timed and scored. Your race results will be emailed to you directly following the race. In order to receive your results, you MUST provide an email address on your race registration form.

  • You must wear the chip at all times during the race.
  • Use one cable tie - thread it around the barrel of the Chip and under a shoelace. Fasten snugly so the Chip rests on the outside of either foot.
  • You must run/walk over the mats at the race start and finish to receive race times. Do not cross the start or finish mats more than once.
  • The Chip must be returned to the Volunteers at the finish line who will assist you with its removal. Lost chips are the participant's financial responsibility.
  • If you pick up a Chip and don't race or don't complete the race you MUST return the Chip to the race office or mail it with 60 cents postage to:
    Timberline Timing Systems, Inc.
    PO Box 609
    Fort Collins, CO 80522
  • Please wrap the Chip before inserting in an envelope - otherwise it will poke a hole in a thin envelope and be lost.
  • Do not lose the ChampionChip®; a $30 replacement fee will be charged to any participant who fails to return the Chip at the finish line.
  • Chips are not transferable, be careful not to switch Chips with roommates, etc.
  • If you own your own Chip and intend to race with it BE SURE you have notified race registration of your Chip code and turned in your rental Chip.
